The world is losing wetlands
{"Image DocumentName": "The world is losing wetlands", "Image ImageDescription": "Wetlands are being lost as we divert and withdraw water. Channelize rivers, build dams, etc. As wetlands disappear, we lose ecosystem services. Filtering pollutants, wildlife habitat, flood control, etc. Many are trying to protect and restore them. The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance (1971) Seeks the conservation and wise use of wetlands in the context of sustainable development. 1,900 sites covering 185 million ha are protected.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
